R-NVD M-BT Master Bus Processor
Harmonic depth. Analog cohesion. Mastering-grade polish.
The R-NVD M-BT is not about dramatic processing — it’s about elevating a mix through subtle harmonic enhancement, intelligent dynamics control, and refined tonal shaping.
Its transformer-based character, Silk circuitry, compressor section, and mastering EQ work together to add depth, width, weight, and clarity while preserving the musical integrity of the source.
NAM A2 Updated
All Tokyo Studio Capture profiles have been updated for the latest NAM A2 architecture.
NAM A2 represents the most significant advancement in Neural Amp Modeler to date, delivering substantially improved accuracy, efficiency, and hardware fidelity compared to previous generations.
According to large-scale blind listening tests, A2 consistently achieved results that are extremely difficult to distinguish from the original hardware.

- Compression provides subtle glue without sacrificing punch
- Mastering EQ shapes tone with broad, musical curves
- Transformer coloration adds depth and dimensionality
Audio Demo
Compare the original hardware signal and the NAM profile across a range of sources — full mixes, drums, bass, vocals, and more.
Each example demonstrates how closely the profile captures the harmonic character, dynamics response, and tonal shaping of the hardware.
The NAM and hardware samples are gain-matched to allow for a more accurate evaluation of the capture’s fidelity.
For additional context, a dry (unprocessed) version is also included.
Why this capture is different
- Multiple Silk, compression, and EQ combinations captured
- Consistent calibration across all profiles
- Designed for stereo buss, mastering, and mix-finishing duties
Waveform Comparison (Hardware vs NAM)
Below is a direct comparison between the original hardware signal and the NAM profile output.
This visualization highlights how accurately the tone, harmonics, and dynamics are preserved.
Technical notes
- Format: NAM (.nam)
- Sample Rate: 48kHz
- Capture Type: Real hardware
- Calibration: Studio-level gain staging
Gain Staging Advice
Our captures are pre-calibrated at -18 dBFS input level.
For best results, we recommend feeding the plugin with an input signal close to -18 dBFS.
Due to compression, harmonic enhancement, and EQ interaction, some profiles may appear louder or more detailed during evaluation.
Please level-match carefully when comparing profiles to better judge tonal differences rather than perceived loudness.
